Represented by his Senior Special Adviser and Counsellor, Dr Saadu Salaudeen, AbdulRazaq congratulated the mosque’s founder, Alhaji Abdullamidi Busari, for the initiative.

The governor noted that Islamic teachings encourage Muslims to contribute to the establishment of places of worship, adding that such efforts attract spiritual rewards.
He prayed for Allah to reward Busari for the project and grant the deceased imam Al-Jannatul Firdaus.
